I am not just a tycoon

Chen Xinyu made congee today, steamed buns, as well as boiled eggs and zongzi, and she also made soy milk.

Shen Xuan emerged from the bedroom with her hair a mess, moving sluggishly. Seeing the breakfast on the table, she grumbled discontentedly, "Xinyu, you're really favoring him, huh? Do I get even half the treatment my brother does?"

Chen Xinyu, the young chef clad in a pink apron, brought the last of the congee to the table and said, "The three of us eat so little, making too much would be a waste."

"Still, it doesn't have to be this lavish."

Shen Xuan sighed, leaving a remark before heading to the bathroom, "Ahh~ I love you guys the most, and yet it's all in vain."

"Just go brush your teeth, will you? Stop the chatter."

Shen Yuan teased her with a remark.

Sweat beaded on Chen Xinyu's forehead, but her expression was a bit unnatural as she served both Chen Na and Shen Yuan a bowl of congee.

"Xinyu, hard work there, you did well."

Chen Na took the congee and praised her with a smile.

"Yeah, it's all because my sister taught me well."

Chen Xinyu sat down modestly, then sneakily glanced at Shen Yuan, but he was just eating his congee and remained silent.

Chen Na seemed to sense something and asked, "Shen Yuan, how is it? My sister did a good job, right?"

"Yes, Xinyu is quite talented, almost catching up to you, sis."

After sipping some congee, Shen Yuan added.

Relieved by his words, a faint blush spread over Chen Xinyu's delicate face, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Chen Na gave Chen Xinyu a thoughtful look, this girl, it's just a compliment from Shen Yuan, why the blushing?

They had been in contact for so long, even if Xinyu was shy, she shouldn't be this awkward, right?

Confusion clouded Chen Na's mind, and she thought about having a chat with her sister later.

After breakfast, Shen Yuan prepared to leave. Chen Na followed him to the door and asked, "Will you come back for lunch or dinner?"

Shen Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "I won't be back for lunch. I'll see about dinner and let you know on WeChat."

"Okay, then drive slowly and be safe."

"Will do."

After seeing Shen Yuan off, Chen Na went into the kitchen to find Chen Xinyu and even closed the kitchen door.

Shen Xuan, who was still at breakfast, couldn't help but complain, "I thought we were a family, why can't they talk in front of me?"

Chen Na whispered, "Xinyu, there are some things I want to ask you."

Chen Xinyu, who was cleaning the kitchen, felt vaguely guilty upon hearing this and hesitantly replied, "Sis, what is it?"

"You've been around your brother-in-law for quite some time now, but I feel you're still a bit restrained."

Chen Na gently gazed at Chen Xinyu, "Is it because you're still not used to it here, or do you find my husband a bit difficult to approach?"

"No... not at all."

Chen Xinyu became even more nervous, explaining softly, "Brother-in-law has been really nice to me, maybe I'm just not used to it yet."

"I see."

Chen Na looked at her sister with sympathy.

She knew Chen Xinyu hadn't been outside Ling County much since she was born, and the only time was when she herself took her to Zhu City during her second year in high school.

A shy girl from a small county, thrown into a strange environment and suddenly having a new "family member" like a brother-in-law, it probably wasn't easy to adapt quickly.

After a moment of reflection, Chen Na suggested, "Well, your brother-in-law's birthday is coming up soon, why don't you give him a small gift and try to chat with him more when you can? He's actually really approachable and likes to joke around. You'll get to know him better after you interact with him a bit more."

"Okay."

Chen Xinyu nodded in agreement; she had already bought a gift for her brother-in-law, the license plate for his car. She wondered if he had used it yet.

"Try to relax, okay?"

Chen Na put her arm around Chen Xinyu's shoulder: "This is both your brother-in-law's and my home, and it's your home too. As long as you are not married, you should consider this place your home."

After saying it, she felt it wasn't quite right and added, "Actually, even after you get married, this will still be your home, always."

Chen Xinyu was slightly moved, "I understand, sister."

"Alright then, that's settled."

Chen Na advised, "Just remember, if you have any issues, come to me anytime. Don't just keep it all inside."

"Alright."

Chen Xinyu initially thought her sister had discovered her feelings for her brother-in-law, but from the conversation, it seemed she merely misunderstood her discomfort.

Chen Xinyu internally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this misunderstanding had a positive side — at least her sister supported her making moves towards her brother-in-law.

But... was it really appropriate for her to do so?

Chen Xinyu was torn, on one side was her caring sister, and on the other, her handsome, tall brother-in-law...

"Xinyu, what did my sister just talk to you about?"

Not long after Chen Na had left, Shen Xuan came into the kitchen, her face full of curiosity.

"Nothing much... just asking if I'm getting used to it here."

Chen Xinyu continued wiping the countertop with a cloth.

"Do you like it here?"

"It's alright."

"Do you dislike my brother? Always expecting to be waited on hand and foot, never lifting a finger."

"Not at all..."

Chen Xinyu shook her head, "Brother-in-law is really nice."

"You're just like my sister-in-law."

Shen Xuan looked dejected: "Just don't spoil my brother too much, or he won't be able to manage on his own when he leaves you guys."

Chen Xinyu's lovely face lit up with a faint smile, thinking, the more he can't do without us, the better.

Luckily Shen Yuan wasn't present to hear his own sister speak ill of him, or he might have given Shen Xuan a combo punch.

"Insulting your own brother to your kind sister-in-law, is that how you act as a sister?"

Shen Yuan drove to the International campus and, as usual, parked his car 50 meters away from the school gate, in front of a restaurant.

It was 9 AM, class time, and only a few students were passing by.

There were also quite a few students who either skipped class or had no classes, walking out of the school gate in groups, swaggering about.

From time to time, there were also girls dressed up flamboyantly, their faces brimming with happiness as they went on dates.

Of course, there were also middle-aged men driving luxury cars, waiting at the school gate for their young girlfriends to come out.

It wasn't long before Shen Yuan noticed Qiao Lei walking out of the school entrance.

Today, she had her hair in a braid, wore a white tank top with a gray hoodie over it, and light-washed denim shorts that boldly showed off her slender, fair legs.

However, the gray hoodie was of no use, because the neckline of the tank top was so low it almost revealed half of her snow-white bosom, and as she walked, it bounced provocatively, providing quite a visual impact.

"It's got a bit of that dating vibe~ Just like waiting for the class belle."

Shen Yuan thought to himself.

But at that moment, a black E300 at the school gate rolled down its window, revealing a round, chubby face. He smiled at Qiao Lei and said, "Beauty, where are you off to? Want a lift?"

"A lift?"

Qiao Lei glanced at him, "How much did you pay for this car?"

"Not much, just over 500,000."

The chubby man claimed it was not expensive, but his expression was quite confident.

In fact, with this configuration, it would cost less than 500,000, but to show off, he inflated the price a bit.

Why not say 600,000? Today's college girls are not fools; they can easily find the price of this model online.

500,000, more or less, college girls know the model but can't discern the configuration.

"Only just over 500,000?"

Qiao Lei shook her head in disappointment, "This car is too cheap, I won't ride in it."

The chubby man's face changed, "You've been swiping too much on Quan Yin, thinking everyone drives a Benz G-Class?"

"Sorry, but my boyfriend actually drives a Benz G-Class."

Qiao Lei feigned innocence and said, "It's not that expensive, just over 3 million."

When Qiao Lei said "just", she emphasized her tone.

After that, she walked towards the silver Benz G-Class, disregarding the murderous glare from the chubby man.

The chubby man's face darkened, and just as he was about to curse, following his gaze, there indeed was a Benz G-Class.

"Damn unlucky!"

The chubby man spat a glob of phlegm on the ground.

"Dear, how can you just spit like that?"

At that moment, a girl whose skin and figure were several notches below Qiao Lei's and who was dressed lightly, walked out of the school gate, opened the car door, and plopped into the passenger seat.

"What were you saying to that girl just now? You don't like her, do you, dear?"

The girl looked at him with big, watery eyes and a pitiful expression.

Usually, the chubby man might have consoled her with nice words, but now he was in no mood.

"Enough with the nonsense, buckle up!"

The girl: "?"

From a distance, Shen Yuan couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, but he vaguely saw the man didn't look too happy, probably because Qiao Lei had rebuffed him.

But trying to pick up one girl and then another, this guy was a bit too greedy, wasn't he?

As Qiao Lei opened the crisp car door and stepped into the passenger seat, she turned to Shen Yuan and said, "Why are you waiting here for me? I thought you'd be at the school gate, at least let me show off a bit, right?"

Shen Yuan turned the steering wheel, smiling, "Weren't you just showing off a moment ago?"

Qiao Lei shook her head, "It's not satisfying. It's only fun to show off at the school gate, especially when school starts or ends, when there are the most people."

"Dream on,"

Shen Yuan thought to himself that neither Teacher Lih nor the class belle had this treatment, let alone little Qiao Lei.

Just as the silver Benz G-Class was leaving, Long Jinghan, who was about to go out to buy daily necessities, stood frozen at the school gate, her gaze forlornly following the Benz G-Class.

She had seen the whole scene of Qiao Lei getting into the passenger seat and the car driving away.

"Am I so insignificant, even less than Qiao Lei?"

A sense of grievance surged in Long Jinghan's heart, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.

"Why?!"

----

"Where are we going?"

Qiao Lei casually pulled over the seat belt and buckled up.

However, after buckling up, it covered the cleavage she was proud of, so she used her hand to slightly shift the seat belt, boldly displaying her snow-white curves.

"I've got some business at the bank."

Shen Yuan hadn't noticed Qiao Lei's small gesture, and was focused on driving.

"Alright then."

Qiao Lei raised her snow-white chin and said, "Take a look at me when we stop at the traffic lights, to make my preparation for your cool summer worthwhile."

"What happened?"

Shen Yuan didn't need to wait for the traffic light and instead looked at her right away.

With just one look, he couldn't take his eyes off her, as Qiao Lei used her finger to pull down the neckline of her tank top a little.

The original U-neckline was pulled into a V-neck by her.

It was previously half exposed, but now it was mostly exposed, allowing the edge of the white bra to be seen. Enjoy more content from empire
